the United Nations named 2008 the International Year of the Potato, calling the vegetable a "hidden treasure".
I saw this on Drudge and was going to post. Glad you posted it. I think this is a very worthy news item.
With potatoes able to be grown in so many environments and able to mature at such a quick rate, I am a little surprised the potato wasn’t already being grown in so many areas of the world where they are starving.
As the article goes on to say, there are so many kinds of potatoes and so many ways to prepare them, it seems just pathetically obvious.
If many more millions of people begin starving, we’re going to see world chaos like we have never seen before.
